Ninth Jump (Light of Terra Part 3: Part 11)

Ship Components!(<---- Hyperlink.)

From Companion-------

Holo-Field: A giant ship going invisible when still and distorted to even computer systems while moving. Perfect.

Distortion Cannon (On the Prow): It tears a hole in reality and then collapses soon after. Wonderful.

Dome of Crystal Seers: Protection from all forms of Warp nasties. One can never be too sure about such things. Along with that, it shall be the burial ground for the dead where they may provide advice and find comfort for all of eternity.

CP Stuff!----------
1150cp + 2800cp = 3950cp

Jovian Pattern Nova Cannon (1000cp): It is a cannon that is known to cut planets clean in half and create brief points of nonexistance. They may be difficult to aim, they may be useless in close range, they may be unstable... but, I am keeping it!

Cyclonic Torpedoes + 1 Extra Torpedo Launcher (1000cp): Exterminatus, enough said. (<---- Hyperlink. Skip to 1:55.)

Sulik Warp Engine (500cp): A very, very good engine that uses anti-matter and matter to fuel itself. Wonderful.

12 Back-Up Void Shields (1200cp): Can never have too many shields.

Final CP------
3950cp – 3700cp = 250cp


Eldrad the Dick

            “Because Eldrad is one of the most powerful psykers in current existence… Still below a few people, but he is high on the charts.” I stated as I picked up my staff in my obviously mechanical hand. “If we can solve this issue peacefully, we may be able to escape without any causalities.” With a hum, I made my way over to the Sister of Battle, who turned and walked beside me as we made our way toward the transport.
            “Did he come with anyone?” My fingers tightened up around the metal of the staff, my eyes glancing around a little bit as we made our way through the repair station. “He brought along a surprisingly large number of Exodites. I suggest that we at least prepare for a battle. Speaking of psykers… When do you plan on getting sanctioned so that you may properly serve the Emperor and not become a portal to the Warp?” The Celestian wondered, glancing over toward me with her calm, yet stern expression that almost seemed to be a constant in this universe of chaos.
            I let out a small huff and gave a small shake of my head. “I would prefer to stay away from the Black Ships. I know what they do on those damn things. I will be fine… For now, we have other issues besides how alien my mind is.” As I spoke, we stepped onto the transport and made our way to the surface of the planet. If Eldrad had something up his sleeve, I was at least hoping that it was going to be annoying instead of harmful.
            “I doubt that you will be fine. Even the Astropaths, blessed and bound to the Emperor, can fall to possession and corruption.” She said in return as she lowered herself into one of the present seats across from my own. “Noted. At least I don’t seem capable of telepathy, hmm? Free will is important.” Though her expression did not shift, it seemed as if she was somewhere between finding the comment humorous considering almost no one had free will in the Imperium… or offensive. I honestly could not tell.
            The transport landed a short distance from the park where Eldrad had appeared, the Exodites only paying us a glance before returning to their work. My men were nearby and Carwyn seemed to be talking with him for the moment, along with another Eldar Farseer that seemed to have accompanied him. As I stepped out of the transport, the world started to roll as the sheer weight of the combined psychic energy slammed into me, forcing me to steady myself with the help of my staff… and Cierra when she stepped over from the crowd to keep me from falling over. “Why did I expect something less than a boulder?” I muttered, allowing Cierra to help me over toward Eldrad, at least until I was able to regain my composure.
            “Ah, your ‘companion’ has arrived, Carwyn. See Macha? Carwyn isn’t being held prisoner and being subjected to vile depravities, the like that would make even our corrupted cousins blush. Despite what your fan-fiction says…” As Eldrad spoke, I simply tilted my head off to the side, ignoring the fact that my companion was about as red as a tomato… come to think of it, I haven’t seen a tomato in at least a decade. “Fan-fiction? Why would the Eternal Virgin be writ-“ I was interrupted by the Farseer, who simply continued instead of allowing me to ask question. “Carwyn is even on the road to creating a civilization where Mon-Keigh and Eldar societies are integrated. Come, let’s give them some time alone… So that they can finally get to sorting through the ship armaments that they make require in the future.”
            With that, Eldrad grabbed Macha by one arm and dragged her through a web-way portal just as I finally stepped up to them. “… What a dick.” I heard from my right, my head turning over toward Carwyn who had actually said it before I could. “Aye. At least he is kind enough to supply us…”

            Once that was over and the Exodites were introduced to the community, I went off on my own to go through the equipment that he had left for us and arrange for the pieces to be taken up to the repair station so that they can be installed, along with anything else that we may have been able to construct during our time here. By the time that I was back on the station, there seemed to be an object on my desk. A black orb of sorts, glowing… I saw it before on the ship when I was grabbing my weapons and equipment from the captain’s trophy case. Something in my head told me one simple thing… Time for things to end here so that I can return to my wandering.
